The problem is that I don't think writing a detailed "mission statement" is

the FSF have any practical means of compelling contributors to work on a
particular feature.
It's been said before that Mark (the GCC release manager) has no real power to
make anything actually happen. All he can do is delay the release and hope
things get better.
Then it will continue to be interesting, if painful, to watch.
